Aurora Innovation develops self-driving technology aimed at changing how transportation works. Their main product, the Aurora Driver, can be added to different types of vehicles to allow them to drive themselves, transporting both people and goods. Aurora stands out from its competitors by working closely with logistics companies, ridesharing services, and vehicle manufacturers to help them use this technology effectively. This partnership approach not only helps Aurora grow but also improves the safety and efficiency of its partners. The company makes money by licensing its self-driving technology to these partners, providing ongoing support and updates as part of the service. A key feature of Aurora's technology is its advanced sensor system, including FirstLight Lidar, which helps the vehicles detect their surroundings accurately. Aurora's goal is to make transportation safer and more accessible for everyone.
